My Take
MacKenzie Gore is the kind of pitcher you watch and immediately think "this kid was built for the big leagues." A North Carolina native drafted third overall by the Padres in 2017, he came up through one of the most hyped prospect pipelines in recent memory and finally made his MLB debut in 2022 after a brutal run of injuries that would have broken a lesser competitor. What I appreciate about Gore is the pure arsenal — a fastball with genuine life, a nasty slider, and the kind of command that shows up when it matters. The 2023 trade to Washington put him in a rebuilding situation, which honestly might have been the best thing for his development. Still only in his mid-twenties, he's the type of arm that franchises build rotations around, and I'm genuinely curious how far he can go when everything clicks for a full season.
